An educational institution dedicated to the history, art, and science of glass

Chartered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York April 27, 1951 (6026)

Accredited by the American Alliance of Museums 1973, 1986, 1999, 2010 The year 2015 was a remarkable time in as “I have to think about light in a new way The Year which to start my presidency at this institution. now” and “Thank you for designing a gallery in Review The opening of our 100,000-square-foot Con- just for glass.” The artists’ responses confirmed temporary Art + Design Wing on March 20, that we’d done something special for glass here 2015, set a new benchmark in the exhibition that will long be remembered. and interpretation of contemporary art and The Museum launched its first digital inter- design in glass, and a new standard in the dem- pretive tool for contemporary glass, GlassApp onstration of glassmaking for the public.

2 Incorporated for its full financial backing of this expansion, and our former president, E. Marie McKee, for her vision and leadership, which led to this capstone in her remarkable legacy. The company’s investment and com- mitment will continue to pay dividends in the years ahead as our enjoyment of these new spaces proceeds. But that wasn’t all we achieved in 2015. When the new wing had opened, the staff was faced with the challenge of operating this ex- panded facility. Having more room for our visitors to explore was a much-needed and -anticipated outcome of this expansion, and our visitation over the summer put the Muse- um through its paces. Visitation reached a new high in 2015, with families and individuals coming in record numbers. Many of them par- ticipated in a Make Your Own Glass experi- ence at The Studio, and that facility was hum- ming as a result. Our Guest Services staff and front-line staff in the Shops, in The Studio, in the Café, in Security, and across the campus performed their work graciously and atten- tively, resulting in the highest satisfaction rat- ing we have ever achieved in our visitor survey: 9.2 out of 10.

3 manner, she published two books on contem- porary glass during her final year at the Muse- um. Collecting Contemporary Glass: Art and Design after 1990 from The Corning Museum of Glass was published in honor of the open- ing of the new wing, and Contemporary Glass Vessels: Selections from The Corning Museum of Glass was completed as a companion to her 2008 volume on the Museum’s sculptures and panels. During her influential 15 years at the Museum, Oldknow curated numerous special exhibitions, wrote many publications, and ed- ited New Glass Review, an annual survey of contemporary glass. Over the years, Oldknow’s choice of artists for the Museum’s annual Rakow Commission, which supports the development of new works of art in glass, has expanded the collection with important works by emerging and estab- lished artists, and has highlighted the careers of the artists honored with this award. For 2015, Oldknow selected Bernhard Schobinger, a Swiss artist and designer known for his eclec- tic use of found objects that he fashions into barely wearable jewelry. The necklace that Schobinger created for the Museum, titled Tantric Object, is composed of pieces of green poison bottles. It is the first work by this artist to enter our collection. The necklace, as well as a ring donated by Schobinger, is on view in the Contemporary Art + Design Wing. Oldknow also continued to bring important new acquisitions into the institution in her last year at the Museum. Among them were Roni Horn’s untitled sculpture, Ayala Serfaty’s Soma lighting fixture, the Campana brothers’Sphere Chandelier from the “Candy Collection” series, and our first work by Judy Tuwalet­stiwa: a wall-mounted composition of glass fragments in shades of red. Another important departure from the insti- tution was that of Dr. Audrey Whitty, curator of European glass, who returned to Dublin, Ireland, to take up the position of keeper of Gail and Ronald Untitled (“The peacock as-cast surfaces, oculus the Art and Industrial Division at the National Bellohusen, members likes to sit on gates or top.

Throughout the year, a portion of the Ennion Society members’ donations and other gifts added $423,000 to the Museum’s glass- making scholarship funds. These funds include proceeds from glass auctions on three of Celeb- rity Cruises’ Solstice-class ships. The auctions raised $292,000, and the December Studio Holiday Open House weekend provided an additional $52,000. The Museum greatly appreciates the gener- osity of benefactors for glass and library ac- quisitions, exhibitions, education and Studio programs, and numerous special interests. We thank them all for their continued support.

61 Financial Operating Results Report The Museum experienced very positive financial results in 2015 because of the opening of the Contemporary Art + Design Wing and the excitement that continued throughout the year. Increased visitation and profitable operations were generated by campus-wide activities. Earned revenues exceeded those of last year by over $1 million, and by paying close attention to the first year of operating costs for the expanded facility, the Museum generated a cash surplus that can be deposited into the Museum Operating Reserve Fund (MORF) in 2016.

Highlights of 2015 operations and acquisitions were: 1. Visitation at the Museum increased five percent above 2014 attendance to 460,000. A total of 425,000 guests toured the Museum in 2015. The new wing attracted 12 percent more individual and family visitors over 2014, with very strong local support, an increase of 26,500 guests. Offsetting this gain was an unfortunate four-percent decline in tour group visitation, down 7,000 guests because of increased competition for this travel market and generous profit-sharing with our top international tour vendors from other for-profit destinations. Enthusiasm remained high throughout 2015. A total of 12,000 schoolchildren visited the Museum for curriculum-related tours, and 36,000 people attended a rich series of education and public programs in addition to grand-opening events. In addition to on-site visitation, the Museum recorded some impressive statistics in virtual (digital) visitation. Projects implemented by the Digital Media Team informed more than one million online and on-site visitors in 2015. GlassApp (glassapp.cmog .org), a new Web app that provides interpretation in the Contemporary Art + Design Wing, averaged more than 150 users per day and was consulted by more than 51,000 visitors. Pyrex Potluck (pyrex.cmog.org), a new microsite highlighting the 100-year anniversary of Pyrex, reached more than 14,000 visitors; the content for the site was provided by the Pyrex exhibition team. The Museum’s primary Web site (www.cmog.org) served more than 980,000 visitors, a 4.75-percent increase over 2014. The team worked with Google to image and catalog the interiors of all of the Museum’s public spaces (galleries, library, studios, etc.) for Google Street View, to be released and added to Google Maps in 2016. The Public Services Team at the Rakow Research Library was also busy with on-site and online visitors. The library welcomed 4,000 visitors, worked with 81 groups, and answered 5,800 reference questions during the year. In addition, the Museum’s online reference management system, LibAnswers, received 33,500 hits.

2. Museum earned revenues of $17.3 million were $1.2 million higher than in 2014. The eight-percent increase was driven by increased visitation and associated visitor revenues, which totaled $13.3 million. Sales in the newly renovated Shops represented over 40 percent of visitor revenues at $5.8 million, flat to 2014. Because of the expansion of the facility and the increased day- pass fee, admissions revenues totaled $4.1 million, an increase of 18 percent over 2014. The other major components of visitor revenues were Make Your Own Glass experiences at The Studio, up eight percent to $1.5 million, with 62,600 guests making glass; and food services revenue, which increased 12 percent to $1.9 million. Other earned revenues were up 10 percent over last year to $4.0 million, with the contin- ued strength of The Studio, the Celebrity Hot Glass at Sea program, online and corporate retail sales (including strong Steuben sales activity), and other program revenues.

62 3. Contributions for acquisitions, programs, and operating support totaled $1.2 million in 2015, marking another strong year of development activities and donor support. Ennion Society members contributed $290,000 toward glass acquisitions, and trust gifts and other donations provided an additional $18,000 for glass acquisitions. The Fellows contributed $23,000 for library acquisitions. Glass auctions on Celebrity cruises raised $292,000 for Studio scholarships, and donors contributed an additional $183,000 for Studio scholarships and other project support. Operating grants received during 2015 provided $283,000 in support of general opera- tions and specific initiatives, such as a survey of early telescopes supported by a contribu- tion of $170,000 from the National Science Foundation. Miscellaneous operating support totaling $34,000 came from individuals and sponsors who also kindly contributed goods and services valued at $188,000.

4. In addition to the Museum’s earned revenues and development activities, cash contributions and in-kind contributed services from Corning Incorporated totaled $40.7 million. As anticipated, in-kind contributed services from Corning expanded because of the increased depreciation expense associated with the company’s capital spending on the new wing, as well as increased support services in the areas of housekeeping and security in the larger facility.

5. Total operating expenditures increased 14 percent over 2014 to $54.7 million, with growth in all areas of operation: personnel and employee benefits, capital equipment and facility operations, marketing and guest services, advances in technology and digital media initiatives, and annual support of an impressive list of exhibitions, publications, and programs.

6. Total glass and library acquisition spending was close to the 2014 level at $1.8 million, and donations to the Museum’s collections were valued at $697,000.

7. The MORF balance at the end of the year was $28.9 million, up from $28.0 million at the end of last year. The stock market performed poorly in 2015, and the fund recorded minimal net investment gains. Other activities with the MORF included the withdrawal of $1.5 million to cover expenses associated with the International Motorcoach Entrance project, funded by a New York State Empire Development Grant. All reporting for the grant has been completed, and the cash from New York State is expected in 2016. In addition, the Museum deposited $2.4 million into the MORF in 2015 from the operating surplus generated in 2014. Looking ahead, an estimated $1.7 million surplus generated in 2015 will be deposited into the MORF in 2016, as well as the $1.5 million due from New York State.

Looking Forward

The Museum’s three-year strategic plan and the 2015 operating results provided guidance for the 2016 budget process. The operating budget has been set with expectations for continued growth in visitation, earned revenues, and support from Corning Incorporated. The 2016 budget, which has been approved by the Museum’s trustees, incorporates an increase in operating costs for a full year of activity in the expanded facility, offset by the elimination of costs associated with opening the new wing (e.g., equipment purchases and celebratory events). Operating and acquisition expenditures are expected to total $61 million, an eight-percent increase over 2015. The Museum operating budget has been established with a continuing focus on preserving core mission operations, managing resources to the annual projected revenue, and ensuring the future stability of the institution by adding to the MORF.
